We opened a british airways card when they were having a great miles promotion and now we have enough to use our point to fly from Denver to London or Ireland, then also from London to another city in Europe once we're there (i'm thinking greece ;) ) BUT downfall is when we looked into booking the flight, there is still $600 in "fees"! So we do get the ticket for about 1/2 price, but still not free. <br /><br />So i'm wondering if you've run into crazy extra fees with any of these cards? We have another miles card that we just used to fly to mexico and the fees for that were only $70 each, so much more manageable!<br />Jenna Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02132130131195650455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569414599779352185.post-54529163853474564472014-02-18T10:36:08.663-08:002014-02-18T10:36:08.663-08:00Thank sfor sharing

We actually found a promotion that gave us a buy-one-get-one-free flight if we spent $2000 in three months on the card. So we put all our major expenses on that card and viola! We had two round trip tickets to Italy for the cost of one! :) We actually just got our Southwest RR Cards in the mail this past week! We are getting those two free flights AND going to rack up points for future flights. I'm excited about it! I haven't looked into these other cards, though. I'll definitely do that!

I honestly was just so overwhelmed by all the CC options that I skipped it. I definitely need to get on the wagon. <br /><br />Also - SW is only 2 1/2 hours from me but I have noticed that their flights are often higher in price. I'm not sure why but I do always check them because sometimes they have killer deals. <br /><br />Thanks for your insight!

Right now we have a cash back CC and since we put everything we can on it (and then pay it off at the end of each month) we get nice little cheques in the mail pretty frequently. Right now that money just goes into our account to help with adoption expenses but soon I'd like to designate it to some fun purchases like travel!Chantelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05887712904925756046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569414599779352185.post-136227109420231492014-01-24T04:15:10.372-08:002014-01-24T04:15:10.372-08:00This is a really informative post!
